You know one of the things that's so irritating about this thread? That
I asked you about your network and you replied that you weren't sharing
anything. This took us down a completely erroneous path.
Possibly English is not your first language and so we have a failure to
communicate. If English is not your first language, then you may prefer
to post in a newsgroup in that language. Here is a list of all the MS
newsgroups so you can find your language.

What we have is a networking issue, which should have been addressed in
your very first post, with the exact text of error messages included.
Here is my standard networking troubleshooting cut/paste. Follow it
through and unless you're leaving out something extremely important
(which wouldn't surprise me) like that you aren't running a Windows
operating system on the other machine, this should solve your issues.
Since there is the possibility that the "other PC" is running Vista, I
include information on networking with Vista also.
This link will take you through Vista networking very well:

Problems sharing files between computers on a network are generally
caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall; or 2) inadvertently running two
firewalls such as the built-in Windows Firewall and a third-party
firewall; and/or 3) not having identical user accounts and passwords on
all Workgroup machines; 4) trying to create shares where the operating
system does not permit it.*
*In your case, make a new share and call it "PC-Cdrive" or the like
instead of using the built-in CS.
Here are some general networking tips for home/small networks:
1. Configure firewalls on all machines to allow the Local Area Network
(LAN) traffic as trusted. With Windows Firewall, this means allowing
File/Printer Sharing on the Exceptions tab. Normally running the Network
Setup Wizard on XP will take care of this for those machines.The only
"gotcha" is that this will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you
aren't running a third-party firewall or have an antivirus with
"Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a
firewall, then you're fine. With third-party firewalls, I usually
configure the LAN allowance with an IP range. Ex. would be
192.168.1.0-192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct
subnet. Do not run more than one firewall.
2. With earlier Microsoft operating systems, the name of the Workgroup
didn't matter. Apparently it does with Vista, so put all computers in
the same Workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control
Panel, Computer Name tab.
3. Create identical user accounts and passwords on all machines. If you
wish a machine to boot directly to the Desktop (into one particular
user's account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions at
this link work for both XP and Vista:

4. If one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center:
a. If you need Pro's ability to set fine-grained permissions, turn off
Simple File Sharing (Folder Options>View tab) and create identical user
accounts/passwords on all computers.
b. If you don't care about using Pro's advanced features, leave the
Simple File Sharing enabled.
Simple File Sharing means that Guest (network) is enabled. This means
that anyone without a user account on the target system can use its
resources. This is a security hole but only you can decide if it matters
in your situation.
I think it is a good idea to create the identical user
accounts/passwords in any case when Vista machines are involved and it
isn't an onerous task with home/small networks.
5. Create shares as desired. XP Home does not permit sharing of users'
home directories (My Documents) or Program Files, but you can share
folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the
Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for details about
Vista sharing.
If you still can't figure it out after working through the above, take
the time to go through this troubleshooter. It usually will pinpoint the
problem area(s):
